Call for nominations: Game Theory and Computer Science Prize
At the recent game theory conference in Jerusalem in honor
of Ehud Kalai, a new Prize in Game Theory and Computer
Science was announced by the Game Theory Society in
recognition of Ehud's role in promoting this exciting new
area of research.
The prize will be awarded at each of the next three World
Congresses to the person who has published the best paper at
the interface of game theory and computer science in recent
years. Preference will be given to a person who is 45 or
less at the time of the Congress, but this is not a binding
constraint. The amount of the Prize will be 00 plus
travel expenses to attend the Congress.
The Society invites nominations for the first recipient of
the prize, which will be awarded at the upcoming World
Congress at Northwestern University (July 13-17, 2008). Each
nomination should include a full copy of the paper (in pdf
format) plus an extended abstract, not exceeding two pages,
that explains the nature and importance of the contribution.
Nominations should be emailed to the Society's
Secretary-Treasurer, Eric van Damme
(eric.vandamme@uvt.nl), by
15 February 2008. The selection will be made by a committee
appointed by the President, and the result will be announced
in April 2008.

President of the Game Theory Society
